When I started with a 1-13 and my first OM I`ve used the the split image almost 
exclusively.
But then I accquired a OM-1 equiped with a 1-1 screen. Sure, first what I did 
was to go to
my local dealer to order a new 1-13 for this camera. But the testing period 
with the 1-1
screen was enough to teach me how to use the microprism.

Generally I swith between split-image, microprism and matte-area, depending on 
the subject.
Because of a slight astigmatism I don`t really rely on a matte-area only 
focusing.
